EP82. The Grinch who Stole Satire: A Christmas Feast of Partridge, Plur1bus, Dead Man & Toast

Jo and Adam are back with their annual festive sketch, this year titled “The Grinch Who Stole Satire”: a cheerfully mischievous look at irony, earnestness, and why people keep declaring satire dead. Along the way, they explore the extraordinary new sci-fi satire Plur1bus, which imagines the horror of a world where everyone is happy; the satirical fuel behind Netflix’s cosy crime hit Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery; and Alan Partridge’s latest appearance in How Are You, It’s Alan (Partridge). Add festive banter, Christmas cheer, and the long-awaited return of everyone’s favourite recurring character, Toast Man, and you’ve got a properly festive Smith & Waugh feast of satire. Pass the peer reviewed mince pies.
